The Good And The Bad Of Where You Live
Comments (42)The good: 1. Quite a few things can be grown here. Peonies, both herbaceous and trees, do well. Usually vegetables will do reasonably well also. Daylilies like it here. They are everywhere. 2. Cost of living here is not as horrendous as other areas, particularly coastal. 3. Usually rainfall is okay. The not so good: 1. tornado alley. It is the ones the weather people don't see coming that are the scarey ones. I was outside when the sirens went off only to see the thing trying to start the sustained spinning going over my driveway. 2. I think we have 6 or 7 seasons. The four usuals just repeat in random order depending on which way the wind is blowing. 3. Blackspot. very bad here; regular spraying needed. 4. Utility costs are high here. My gas and electric costs are sometimes higher than my house payment. 5. Soil quality is poor. Lots of soil amendments are needed. 6. Too many mosquitoes around my area. Mosquitoes make working in the yard a real challenge....See MoreIs it too late to move roses?
Comments (2)Personally, I would wait until spring. They dirt tends to fall off. Enjoy it where it is this year. It will be fine. I've had roses buried beneath branches of others for several years. In the spring before it fully leafs out is the best time to move so they have the whole summer to settle in. When it is moved, they tend to act like a newly planted rose again. So don't it expect it be grand that year. Shelley...See MoreJackson & Perkins is horrible, horrible, stay away!
Comments (25)Very sorry this happened to you , braverichard. I read over J&P warranty, I did not see anything being required to buy in within their stated hardiness zone for the guarantee to remain in tact. If that's their policy, they should state it, and be prepared lose most of their tree rose sales to those not in zone 7-10. I also notice that good customer service companies have some form of escalation for valid reasons that fall outside of their warranty...I recently received refunds from both Amazon and Uber for situations that fell outside their warranty, because they made sense. Wayside, J&P and esp Park seed brought me much happiness when I was a kid. It's sad to see them in decline, their offerings are not that competitive in today's world, their reviews are bad, I would guess they're not exactly profitable, either....See Morerose rosette report - unfortunately requires a log in
